Chapter Two: Returning to Seaford High Part 1


Kim's POV

It was only 3 weeks and everything had changed rather quickly ever since Grace died. Jerry and Mika no longer dance, Milton and Julie started to get bad grades (well, their definition of bad grades) and I stopped cheerleading. Jack had probably changed the most. He always wore dark colours, he doesn't smile as often and the gleam in his eyes was replaced with a cloud of dullness and sorrow. But one thing that didn't change was that the warriors and I still took karate and we all stuck together. Well, almost all of us.

Eddie was too distraught and depressed over his girlfriend's death that he moved to Arizona. We still keep in contact with him, but it's not the same here without him.

After Seaford High had a memorial for Grace and students decorated her locker with pictures of her, flowers, and a golden cross, the school had let everyone who was close to Grace, like the pep-squad, skip for about a week. But to be honest, the gang had been out of school for two weeks. Principal Funderburk had spoken to all of us and said we could take an extra week off. Little did we know that Eddie had already decided to move away and wouldn't be returning to Seaford High.

Today was the first day of school since Grace's death, but I didn't want to go back. So many things have changed and it won't be the same without my best friend standing by my side. I still missed Grace and thought about her everyday. After school, Jack and I planned on going to the cemetery to tell Grace about our first day.

"Kim!" My mother called from downstairs. "Hurry up! You're gonna be late for school."

I groaned in frustration, but reluctantly said "I'll be down in a minute!"

After getting dressed in a navy sweater-dress, black leggings and black combat boots, I went to my bedroom window and looked outside. I opened the window and stepped out onto the balcony, looking up at the dark sky.

I felt the cool air brush against my face and soon I felt a raindrop kiss the side of my cheek. It was pretty obvious that a storm was coming, but I didn't care. When I felt more raindrops starting to fall, I went back inside, closing the window behind me and went downstairs.

When I made it into the kitchen, my mother asked "Did you sleep well last night?"

I nodded my head and grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl. To be truthful, I didn't get a goodnight's sleep. Ever since Grace passed away, I've been having nightmares about that horrifying scene that I witnessed. I usually take sleeping pills to help with the nightmares, but I guess I forgot to take them last night.

I heard the door knock and immediately knew it was Jack. It was so sweet for him to pick me up and walk with me to school. But even though I want to be something more, we're just best friends.

I kissed my mom goodbye after grabbing my backpack and purse, put on my white trench coat and blue beanie and headed out the door to greet Jack.

He was standing outside on my porch in the rain as it fell hard and landed on his black jacket. Even though he was wearing a hood, his hair was soaked and he had water droplets on his face. Jack looked really depressed, probably too depressed to even bring an umbrella.

"Hey." I said softly, hugging him.

"Hey." Jack says kindly wrapping his arms around me. Before we knew it, we were in that position for longer than a minute. Once we realize about the time, we both jump back.

"So..." I said, kinda lost for words. "Uh, should we get going?"

"Uh... Yeah, come on." He replied.

Soon we forget that awkward moment and begin to talk.

"It's gonna be so different at school." I said glumly.

"Yeah," Jack agreed. "I know. I still really miss her."

"Me too, Jack. I also really miss Eddie."

"So do I. But I can't blame him for leaving though."

We continued to walk to school, talking about random stuff when I suddenly feel my phone vibrate in my pocket.

Once I unlocked my phone I saw a text message from an unknown number... I was shocked about what I saw. It was a message that said:

"Hey slut. Where were you these past two weeks? Oh that's right, I remember. Gracie killed herself. What a shame. It should've been you."

Jack's POV

I was talking to Kim until I noticed that she was no longer beside me. She had stopped right in the middle of the sidewalk and was staring at her phone, shocked.

"Kim?" I said, walking back to her. "Kim? What's wrong?"

She looked up at me, startled. "N-nothing." she stuttered "Just another one of Milton's 'interesting facts' about the human body."

"Oh no, not again." I said, rolling my eyes. "I thought we told him to stop sending those things to us! Last time I read one of those facts, I almost lost my lunch. I think I'm gonna talk to him about it."

"No!" Kim said suddenly. "I-I mean, I'll talk to him. He sent me the fact, right?"

I looked at her oddly, but shrugged. We continued to walk to school and I kept glancing at Kim. She still looked pretty spooked about what she saw on her phone. Something's up...

Once we arrived at school, we both looked at each other nervously and both take deep breaths.

"You ready?" I asked quietly.

Kim gave me a slight nod and we both grabbed onto the door handles. The coldness of the metal stung and made my skin tingle.

We soon opened the door and were greeted with an eerie silence. All the students had stopped talking and looked at us as we walked to our usual spot by the stairs. People kept staring until Jerry and Mika came up beside us.

"Yo!" Jerry shouted. "Everyone quit staring!"

"Move along!" Mika added.

Everyone was shocked about Jerry and Mika's outburst, but stopped staring at us and went back to chatting.

"Thanks guys." I said gratefully.

"No problem." Jerry said patting me on the shoulder.

Soon, Milton and Julie arrived at our spot and we all began talking about random stuff, trying to avoid talking about my sister. But you could definitely tell people were still depressed.

Before the bell rang, Julie said "Guys, let's get to class. I don't think we should be late on our first day back. No matter how much we don't want to be here."

Everyone agreed and we all stand up. We began walking until I noticed someone was missing. I turned around and saw that Kim's stuff fell out of her backpack and she was trying to put it all away.

"Kim?" I asked. "Do you need some help?"

"No, you guys go to class. I'll catch up."

With that said, everyone, minus Kim, left the main hall and walked to class.

Kim's POV

When the gang left, I tried to get everything back in my backpack. I still don't know how everything fell out, but whatever.

Just as I finished putting everything away, I heard someone say "Well, well, well. If it isn't the slutty southern-bell."

I knew that voice anywhere. I looked up and saw Donna Tobin and her gang (Lindsey, Lori and Brett) making their way towards me. I stood up and fought every urge in my body not to pound their freaking skulls into the wall.

"Shut-up Donna." I said bitterly.

"Awww, what's the matter Kimmy?" She said in a baby-voice. "Still miss little Gracie?"

I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth. "What you did to her was fucking cruel! Don't you feel any remorse?! Any guilt?! Any regret?!"

She looked at the ground and said "Now that I think about it, I do feel regretful..."

I relaxed a little, until I saw Donna smile maliciously and looked up at me saying "...Regretful that you weren't the one that died instead. It should have been you."
